Well, we wrapped up another Summer of chocolate shows today, or at least all that we know of. The audience, from Minnesota, was very interested in the whole process, so I got to release a lot of hot air. Seriously though, trust me, I sound like I know what I'm talking about.

So here's a first, one participant asked if she could pay by credit card because she wanted to take back a suitcase full. With a little bit of techno sorcery and Paypal, we were able to oblige. Now we have some chocolate on back order but should have no problem delivering before they leaveon Monday.

I have to say that we've outdone ourselves on the brownies. If you have not tasted them in the past couple weeks, we've improved them a bit. We were adding chunks of dark chocolate to the mix, but now we're adding milk chocolate chunks. It gives a good balance as the brownie itself is bittersweet, but the milk chocolate gives it another dimension.
